Common use of NAICS Codes Clause in Contracts

NAICS Codes. The MRCC agrees to certify all firms in compliance with 49 CFR Part 26, including designating specific work types. The Partners agree to use the NAICS codes for those designations. All firms will be informed of the specific codes and a short narrative description of that designation. Social Disadvantage Determinations Citizens of the United States (or lawfully admitted permanent residents) who are women, Black Americans, Hispanic Americans, Native Americans, Asian-Pacific Americans, Subcontinent Asian Americans, or other minorities found disadvantaged by the Small Business Administration will maintain the rebuttable presumption by the MRCC of being a socially disadvantaged individual. The definitions of those groups are set out in Appendix A, attached and incorporated by reference. Pursuant to 49 CFR 26.63, if the MRCC has reason to question whether an individual is a member of a group presumed to be socially disadvantaged, the MRCC will require the individual to demonstrate, by a preponderance of the evidence, that he/she is a member of such group. In making that determination, the MRCC will consider whether or not the person has held himself/herself out to be a member of the group over a long period of time prior to application for certification and whether the relevant community regards the person as a member of the group. The MRCC may require the applicant to produce appropriate documentation of group membership. If the MRCC determines an individual claiming to be a member of a group presumed disadvantaged is not a member of such group, the individual must demonstrate social and economic disadvantage on an individual basis. The MRCC's decision concerning membership in a designated group will be subject to the certification appeal procedures.
